Question

Marco's living room is 4 meters wide and 6 meters long. He wants to install white carpet that costs $8.91 per square meter. How much will it cost to buy enough carpet for the living room?

Answer 1

Answer:

$213.84

Step-by-step explanation:

Think of a rectangle. In the case the length is 6 meters and the width is for meters. To be able to find the area of this rectangle, you need to multiply the length by the width. 6 multiplied by 4 is 24. In the equation it tells you that 1 square meter is $8.91, so now you are trying to figure how much 24 square meters would cost. To figure this out, you will need to multiple 24 by $8.91 giving you $213.84.

Hope this helps.
